Urbanus velinus (Plötz, 1880) is a hesperid that causes total defoliation of Clitoria fairchildiana. Some aspects involving their reproduction are still unknown to science, including protocols for captive reproduction. In order to obtain information about their sexual behavior and reproductive ecology, a butterfly house was built where daily assessments were carried out for nine generations kept in captivity. It was observed that around noon the cutting process begins. The mating occurs in the afternoon, ceasing at dusk. The reproduction of U. velinus in a butterfly house proved to be viable, however in the F8 generation the eggs were infertile.
